  1. The Dairy ICT Project Prof Chris Knight University of Copenhagen

  2. Dairy ICT Project aims to improve dairy cow welfare • In the Dairy ICT project we are developing new uses for accelerometer collars, expanding the utility of milk metabolomics and building novel biomarker technologies. Outputs from these novel technologies will be integrated into ICT-based "smart" husbandry support systems for use by dairy farmers.

  3. Dairy ICT Project will expand existing proven technologies Add SARA Herd Navigator: Progesterone LDH BHB Add lameness Add feeding activity Oestrus detection

  4. Dairy ICT Project will view biomarkers differently

  5. Dairy ICT Project will develop minimalist approaches to smart systems Accelerometer collar data Know desiredstate Milk metabolomic data Initiate Action Integrate, compare, evaluate, Know currentstate Existing state of art data Welfare biomarker data Knowpreviousstate Existing state of art data

  6. Dairy ICT Project participants • University of Copenhagen • Chris Knight, co-ordination, biomarkers • Aarhus University • Klaus Lønne Ingvartsen, milkmetabolomics • INRA AgroParisTech • Nic Friggens, teleonomic smart system modelling • University of Strathclyde • Ivan Andonovic, accelerometercollars(under subcontract to INRA) • University of Bern • Rupert Bruckmaier, biomarkers • Teagasc Moorepark • Riona Sayers, dairycowexperiments • University of Padua, Newcastle University and SRUC provide advisory input

Dairy ICT Project, biological sensing tasks • TS.1 Cow feeding activity sensing using accelerometer collars • Task Leader: STRATH - Partners involved: TEAGASC, INRA, UNIPD • TS.2 Detection of lameness in cows using accelerometer collars • Task Leader: STRATH - Partners involved: TEAGASC, SRUC • TS.3 Development of novel biomarker sampling methodologies • Task Leader: UCPH – Partners involved: UNIBE • TS.4 Detection of sub-acute ruminal acidosis using milk metabolomics • Task Leader: AU - Participants involved: UNIBE

  8. Dairy ICT Project, teleonomicmodelling tasks • TT.1 Generic tools: Data filtration and extraction tools • Task Leader: INRA - Partners involved:AU, STRATH, UNEW • TT.2 Generic tools: Feature integration tools • Task Leader: INRA - Partners involved: AU, UNEW, STRATH • TT.3 Testing of generic tools • Task Leader: INRA - Partners involved: STRATH • TT.4 Tailored integrated solutions and development of Dairy Management Support System • Task Leader: INRA - Partners involved: STRATH
